Fishin Frenzy: Fish Along the Coral Reefs for Prizes up to 500x Your Bet

We are going deep into the coral reefs with Fishin Frenzy, where fish can bring up to 500x wins and 20 free spins. This entry by Blueprint Gaming first came out in 2014 with impressive fanfare so here I am trying to see what makes it good. Let’s find out together!

If I’m completely honest, I found the 5x3 grid with 10 paylines in the base game of Fishin Frenzy to be rather boring at first. The game spawns a ton of cash symbols during regular spins but you can’t collect them until the free spins bonus game arrives. However, they wouldn’t be much of a problem as I figured out that aligning 3 or more of them on a winning line got me between 2x to 3x wins. 

My adventures throughout the base game left me with a rollercoaster of emotions, to say the least. I was making between 3x to 7x returns on average but sometimes they would take only 2 to 3 spins to land whereas at other times it took me up to 10 spins just to land a single winning combination. I even made a few super low wins only 0.50x my bet but they were rare enough not to matter in the grand scheme of things. 

Interestingly the wild symbol also doubles as the collect symbol of the game but I didn’t see it until I triggered the free spins bonus game. Scatters weren’t that hard to find on the reels but getting them in numbers was a bit of an issue. I was mostly seeing 1 to 2 of them pop in for around 20 minutes before getting all 3 and restoring balance to my fishing journey. 

Esoteric words aside, I was given 10 free spins which was pretty standard but the wild prize collect fisherman symbols made their presence known. I saw them punch above their weight numerous times by aiding in symbol combinations and collecting up to 16x returns on one lucky spin. This was my lucky break and I made an impressive 44x win from the round. 

Despite its age, I get the appeal of Fishin Frenzy especially back in the day. It comes with features that are so polished that it made me feel like I was playing a modern slot title. It got me reasonable wins and has a high enough potential for big wins that I’d suggest checking it out for yourself.
